2.1 Breve descripción del Enfoque

Beneficial uses of Jeevatu in crop production and protection.

2.2 Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST

Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST:

Aims / objectives: The use of Jeevatu has been and still is solely for agricultural purpose. The main objective of it is to effectively free the environment different poisonous chemicals that are present in the form of pesticides and fertilizers.

It aims to prevent and control pests and diseases, including bacterial, viral and fungal, in vegetables, cereals, flowers and fruit trees, and to improve the growth of the plant, the yield and the quality of the fruits (vitamin content and peel thickness).

It can also be used to keep different fruits and vegetables fresh for a longer period of time.

Jeevatu further helps by promoting the proper management of the waste materials as the key ingredient in the process of producing Jeevatu is different organic wastes.

It provides an advantage to the farmers by an economic point of view as well - the cost of Jeevatu is comparatively much less than that of other pesticides and fertilizers.


Methods: A 2 feet wide and 1 foot long pit is dug in a fertile land.

A plastic sheet is placed in the pit

Raw cow dung and water is poured in the pit and made greasy

The 1m25cm plastic sheet is then made air and water tight by tying it up with a jute rope

Every 2-3 days water is added and the mixture is stirred well
The water added amounts up to about 50L.

After 17-25 days , a green colour is seen in the outer surface of the plastic bag and the odor is no longer present, this indicates that the fertilizer (Jeevatu) is now ready to be used.

The plastic bag is then removed and a new plastic sheet is placed to start the production of a new batch of Jeevatu

1L of the previous made Jeevatu is also included to after the second batch to gain a better yield of Jeevatu.


Role of stakeholders: There are mainly two types

The producers-

They seek profit in terms of money as they plan to produce good amounts of Jeevatu and sell them to the people involved in agriculture or animal husbandry

The people involved in agriculture and animal husbandry-

They seek profit in terms of good yield of crops or animal products. The use of Jeevatu benefits them and keeps them as well as the environment safe.

2.5 País/ región/ lugares donde el Enfoque fue aplicado

2.7 Tipo de Enfoque

• proyecto/ basado en un programa

2.8 Propósitos/ objetivos principales del Enfoque

The Approach focused mainly on SLM with other activities (animal husbandry, can also be used in kitchen, toilets, remove bad odors)

To learn how Jeevatu was made

To learn how Jeevatu was made available to the people

To learn how much the people knew about it

To learn the benefits it had in the field of agriculture and animal husbandry


The SLM Approach addressed the following problems: Most people involved in agriculture and animal husbandry are not economically and financially strong. Hence the solution of financial and economic related problems should be given top priority.

2.9 Condiciones que facilitan o impiden la implementación de la/s Tecnología/s aplicadas bajo el Enfoque

3.1 Partes interesadas involucradas en el Enfoque y sus roles

3.2 Involucramiento de los usuarios locales de tierras/ comunidades locales en las distintas fases del Enfoque

monitoreo y evaluación	pasivo	self
Research	pasivo	About 15 Nepalese scientists of NFI developed this package of beneficial microbes after 25-30 yrs of research with the consultation & experimentation with several farmers and landusers.

3.3 Flujograma (si estuviera disponible)

3.4 La toma de decisiones en la selección de Tecnología(s) MST

Especifique quién decidió la selección de las Tecnología/ Tecnologías a implementarse:

• principalmente por especialistas MST en consulta con usuarios de tierras

Explique:

Around 15 Nepalese scientist of NFI developed this package of beneficial microbes after 25-30 yrs of research with the consultation & experimentation with several farmers.

4.1 Construcción de capacidades / capacitación

¿Se proporcionó la capacitación a usuarios de tierras/ otras partes interesadas?

Sí

Especifique quién fue capacitado:

• usuarios de tierras

Forma de capacitación:

• de agricultor a agricultor
• áreas de demostración
• reuniones públicas

Temas avanzados:

The people who received trainings and had gained awareness involved those related to agriculture or animal husbandry.
They were told about the benefits of Jeevatu over the other chemicals and other important facts about how the chemicals cause harm to our bodies and the environment were also mentioned.

4.2 Servicio de asesoría

¿Los usuarios de tierras tienen acceso a un servicio de asesoría?

Sí

Describa/ comentarios:

Advisory service is inadequate to ensure the continuation of land conservation activities; Government and other advisory services are not yet adequate as the message flow, regarding benefits of Jeevatu, is not proper. Only limited people are aware of it and a large number of communities are still using other harmful chemical pesticides and fertilizers.

4.3 Fortalecimiento institucional (desarrollo institucional)

¿Se establecieron o fortalecieron instituciones mediante el Enfoque?

• sí, un poco

Especifique el nivel o los niveles en los que se fortalecieron o establecieron las instituciones:

6.4 Fortalezas/ ventajas del Enfoque

Fuerzas/ ventajas/ oportunidades desde la perspectiva del usuario de la tierra
It has inceased the net profit. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: If the price can be further lowered, then it can be more efficient.)

Fuerzas/ ventajas/ oportunidades desde la perspectiva del compilador o de otra persona de referencia clave

1) helps to preserve crop production as well as its protection. 2) Helps in composting, treating plant diseases. 3) Jeevatu also helps in waste management. 4) It helps to reduce the filthy smells of boars, dung and other animals. 5) Jeevatu helps in treating different plants related diseases. (How to sustain/ enhance this strength: Jeevatu is a local productio.So,if it introduced globally, then it can be commercialized and many people can be benefitted by its result. By its proper use as instructed by the experts.)
